    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this morning (Monday, 29 January 2018), upon leaving for Moscow, made the following remarks:
     
    "I am now leaving for Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
     
    We meet periodically in order to ensure the military coordination between the IDF and the Russian forces in Syria; as of today this has succeeded and it is important that it continue to succeed.
     
    I will discuss with President Putin Iran's relentless efforts to establish a military presence in Syria, which we strongly oppose and are also taking action against.
     
    We will also discuss Iran's effort to turn Lebanon into one giant missile site, a site for precision missiles against the State of Israel, which we will not tolerate."
